Christmas Eve 2014

At the Collins' house, Christmas Eve is a busy exciting day. The kids are restless with anticipation for the big celebration. Dad is working, and Mom is trying to have fun with the kids while finishing up any last minute Christmas preparations all while not going crazy.

So I do what my mom use to do with me growing up - Have a Sugar Cookie Decorating Party.

This keeps my kids entertained for hours, plus after, you have some pretty tasty cookies to leave out for Santa.

Once Dad finally made it home from work, the Christmas Eve festivities began. Starting with a dinner of snack foods- pizza rolls, chips and dip, a cheese ball, fruit and veggie trays, curly fries, and of course, cookies.

After dinner, was the traditional opening of one "special" Christmas Eve gift-

New Pajamas

Then we played a competitively fierce game of Cup Stacking, Minute-to-Win-It style.
